WARNING
Grounding Instructions
Oven MUST be grounded.
Grounding reduces risk of electric
shock by providing an escape wire
for the electric current if an electrical
short occurs. This oven is equipped
with a cord having a grounding wire
with a grounding plug. The plug must
be plugged into an outlet that is prop-
erly installed and grounded.
Consult a qualified electrician or ser-
vicer if grounding instructions are not
completely understood, or if doubt
exists as to whether the oven is prop-
erly grounded.
Do not use an extension cord. If
the product power cord is too short,
have a qualified electrician install a
three-slot receptacle. This oven
should be plugged into a separate 60
hertz circuit with the electrical rating
as shown in specifications table.
When the combination oven is on a
circuit with other equipment, an
increase in cooking times may be
required and fuses can be blown.
Microwave operates on standard
household current, 110-120V.
CIRCUITS
For safety purposes this oven must
be plugged into a 15 or 20 Amp
circuit. No other electrical appliances
or lighting circuits should be on this
line. If in doubt, consult a licensed
electrician.
VOLTAGE
The voltage used at the wall recepta-
cle must be the same as specified on
the oven name plate located inside
oven door. Use of a higher voltage is
dangerous and may result in a fire or
other type of accident causing oven
damage. Low voltage will cause slow
cooking. In case your microwave
oven does not perform normally in
spite of proper voltage, remove and
reinsert the plug.
PLACEMENT OF
THE OVEN
Your microwave oven can be placed
easily in your kitchen, family room, or
anywhere else in your home. Place
the oven on a flat surface such as a
kitchen countertop or a specially
designed microwave oven cart. Do
not place oven above a gas or elec-
tric range. Free air flow around the
oven is important.
DO NOT BLOCK
AIR VENTS
All air vents should be kept clear dur-
ing cooking. If air vents are covered
during oven operation the oven may
overheat. In this case, a sensitive
thermal safety device automatically
turns the oven off. The oven will be
inoperable until it has cooled suffi-
ciently.
RADIO INTERFERENCE
1. Microwave oven operation may
interfere with TV or radio recep-
tion.
2. When there is interference, it
may be reduced or eliminated by
taking the following measures:
a. Clean the door and the seal-
ing surfaces of the oven.
b. Reorient the receiving anten-
na of radio or television.
c. Relocate the microwave oven
in relation to the TV or radio.
d. Move the microwave oven
away from the receiver.
e. Plug the microwave oven into
a different outlet so that
microwave oven and receiver
are on different branch cir-
cuits.
